In one of the most dramatic conversions since the Roman Emperor Constantine stopped throwing Christians to the lions and became one himself, Paris Hilton of all people announced that she will cease wearing fur.
The pivotal moment came when Heather Mills-McCartney showed the hotel heiress a PETA tape of animals being ill-treated and killed in a Chinese fur farm.
Last year Hilton was named public enemy number one in the war against fur by PETA as she continually laughed off their appeals for her not to wear fur. Hilton spokesperson Elliot Mintz released a statement saying : 
"Paris does not wear fur, nor will she wear fur described as artificial fur knowing it came off the backs of animals”

Meryl Streep gets to wear a million dollar wardrobe in her role as the fashion editor from hell in The Devil Wears Prada scheduled to be released next week.
The New York Post described the film as a spectacle of $12,000 handbags and $40,000 fur coats. Streep alone gets to go through over 60 costume changes.
The latest up to the minute designs were put together by Patricia Field, who was the fashion consultant behind Sex and the City.
As to be expected there are tons of Prada in the film but designs by over one hundred top designers make an on screen appearance.
